While jobs started becoming available in 2017, household incomes did not keep pace with the rising cost of housing leaving many of the working-age population behind. Many seniors who experience the challenges of the last decade are facing retirement alone and without adequate resources.

The challenge, as 2020 approaches, is first to develop a path to housing stability for the most vulnerable households in our community. Second is to capture the attention of the broader community population with an awareness and understanding of the plight of those left behind thereby directing resources from the new economy to initiatives helping those struggling to survive.
